Boxing: Catch all the action as Tim Tszyu took on Sebastian Fundora in an all out war for the WBO and WBC 154-lb titles.
Tim Tszyu’s manager has branded suggestions no contract exists for a rematch against Sebastian Fundora as “s … stirring” – while also stressing his client should have the right to again fight for both the WBO and WBC titles “when he can see”.
Some of the names already being tossed about include Errol Spence Jnr, WBA champ Israil Madrimov and, most obviously, the Fundora rematch. Had Tszyu won, there was talk of him fighting either Terence Crawford or Errol Spence next – however both those stars have now gone public in their pursuit of Fundora.While it was initially reported a rematch deal had already been struck between the Tszyu and Fundora camps prior to fighting, reports emerged on Monday that no such clause existed in the contracts signed by both fighters.
Speaking with Fox Sports Australia in the world’s fight capital on Sunday however, Jennings laughed off the suggestion there was no official paperwork in place, responding: “A verbal contract?”“He knows that, and is just saying what he is to get a reaction.“That’s all this is.“There’s definitely a contracted arrangement for a rematch that has a time frame on it.”“But it’s not all as simple as that,” he stressed.
While both Jennings and No Limit have confirmed a written rematch clause is in place, it appears both Spence and Crawford will look to use their heavyweight influence to scupper those plans.
